take count outside of link

Looking at this code below, how do I take the count outside of the link without making any errors?

$html[] = '&bull; <a href="' . $web . '">' . $sofa['name'] . ($showcount ? ' (' . $sofa['count'] . ')' : '') . '</a>';

/*
If you don't need the parentheses, just insert $sofa['count'] wherever 
you need it. Otherwise, use $count.
*/
$count = ($showcount ? ' (' . $sofa['count'] . ')' : '');

$html[] = '&bull; <a href="' . $web . '">' . $sofa['name'] . '</a>';

I don’t understand…

When I add $sofa[‘count’] after the </a> tag, I get errors.

Or when I add $count after the </a> tag, I see $count.

EDIT: Ok, I had to use (’ . $sofa[‘count’] . ‘) not $sofa[‘count’].

Re: take count outside of link

You have to escape them with a period. For example, to display $count after the link:

$html[] = '&bull; <a href="' . $web . '">' . $sofa['name'] . '</a> '. $count;
